The next three images show heavy Maori-Presbyterian Merging.  I think its very important to see the alterations in St. Paul's Memorial Church that bring in the traditional sacred aspects of the Marae, including the tiki's and wall weavings.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the sacristy of the St. Joseph's Catholic Chapel, we can see the Maori influence on the Catholic traditions, merging the Maori flax weaving with the tradition of the rose, as well as having Maori translated hymnals.
